Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy

On the last night of the European tour, the band played to a packed house of 18,000 fans. After "Pleasure and Pain" Ben said, "I want to thank you for being so quiet during the quiet songs. This is what makes it so special to me. I play in front of 500 people and they're way more noisy than you guys. Thank you for making this so intimate. Thank you." Written on Ben's acoustic guitar was "Free Leonard Peltier Now."
